Bidding Jobs

Starting up bull dozing business. Need some information on bidding, do you bid hourly rates for the machine and add on the cost of the operator per hour and is there a charge for getting the machine to and from the job site?

Re: Bidding Jobs

When bidding hourly I include both the machine & operator. I always charge for mobilization to get equipment to the jobsite. Doesn't matter if I move it with my trailer or if I get a lowbed for bigger equipment.

Aren't these questions you should be asking yourself?
